Where do you want to go?

When the original efx2 officially fell to the ground, members were scattered all over the blog world and slowly one by one started to emerge from the ruins and build a new home some place, somewhere.

Recently, the brand new efx2 has come to life and the once close knitted efx2 community has begun its rebuilding phase. I could see more and more members have started to build their new home at that new world and some are even ready to welcome guests to their homes. Some circles of friends built during the efx2 era are now being re-established. It is really interesting to see all of these things taking shapes and pieces coming together within a short span of time.

However, some questions remain. Do you want to have a single home or another one for backup? Do you want to join the new efx2 or remain where you are? If you are going to update more than one place, which one would be the main?

While waiting for the new efx2, new homes were built on Blogger, WordPress, and may be some other worlds out there. Some actually moved back to the homes that they left behind when efx2 was in its heyday and started to renovate them in order to be as comfortable as it was in efx2. It goes to show that efx2 was really a special place to all who have called it home.

We are one of those “homeless” who took refuge at Blogger and have done a lot to make this place a home. May be we would be a few that would make this home as our main home while still taking a space at the new efx2 for the sake of the community. Within our circle of friends, Elisa and Mamarawks for example, have created their new places at efx2blogs.com and looks like they are updating both. These women have lots of stamina! There are some that have gone ahead with their wordpress.com homes such as, Oflionandbear and Rotidua.

As for us. we have asked for our space and waiting for the confirmation. Chances are, we would be posting at both sites. However, I, the Bear, personally prefer Blogger to WordPress due to the fact that Blogger allows customizations on the template and therefore, many things can be added easily. Whereas, at WordPress, customization is limited and it is quite difficult even to have a simple thing such as a shoutbox.

May be one day, Keith, the King of efx2 would come up with many of the luxuries that we used to have at the old place. This guy is really awesome for putting lots of personal efforts to ensure that the efx2 community remains alive! We shall wait and see what he would come up with in the future.

Anyway, wherever you are does not really matter. What matters is that we would all homes to be at and for friends to come around for a cup of cyber-tea and cyber-biscuits. Let us all keep in touch and have a great blogging time together!

P/s:
1. Does anybody know where moshimoshi is? Is he still lost in space? 2. This entry was a result of too much food after iftar. So please ignore anything that doesn’t make sense.

It's Saturday

Saturday 2:00 pm

We went to bed very early last night and as a result Mama, Papa and I woke up at 3:00 am this morning and due to that, I was the last one to wake up. It is not easy to be the only baby in the house since I have to accompany them all the time including the eating-in-the-very-early-morning session that is called sahur so that they can fast better during the day. Ngantuk arr…

The other reason that I took an extra sleeping time is due to the fact that Mama and Papa has planned some outing for today. We would be going to Mid Valley to buy some groceries as well as one of my most important accessories, the diapers.

Apart from that. I am looking forward to the time when Mama would be busy looking for Vinnci shoes. That would be the time where Papa would be pushing me all around the mall in my stroller. That is one activity that I extremely enjoy and furthermore, Mama said that Papa needs the exercise. So, I am helping Papa and having a bundle of fun at the same time. Would not that be great! Anyway, Papa is the best stroller driver around!

That’s all for now since I need to go for a shower in my yellow ducky tub that makes the “quack quack” sounds that Mama loves so much. See you later.

I am up! 2:40 pm
